| Mar 4, 2016 at 22:52 | comment | added | Ron Beyer | You are headed east at an indicated 100mph, the air mass you are in is headed west at 10mph, your indicated air speed will be 100mph, the ground speed will be 90mph since you have a 10mph head wind. If the air mass were heading east (tail wind) at 10mph, your indicated airspeed would still be 100mph, but your ground speed would increase to 110mph. Make sense? | |

| Mar 4, 2016 at 22:25 | comment | added | Ralph J♦ | Not a duplicate... the referenced question is asking about a video game, and got an answer with more formulas than a college level Aero course. This question is asking for a straightforward answer to the concepts of airspeed and groundspeed, and aviation.se doesn't have that -- at least not in the referenced "duplicate" question. Voting to reopen. | |
